PROJECT OVERVIEW

Upgrading a generator fuelling system is never a simple task, but when the project is located in the heart of Brisbane's CBD, it adds an extra layer of complexity. At Nqpetro, we recently undertook the replacement of an underground diesel tank for a new generator system in Brisbane City—a project that tested our team's ability to manage tight spaces, limited access, and precise scheduling.

Meeting the Challenge Head-On

Working within the Brisbane CBD posed significant challenges. The tight space in the loading dock where the tank was located required meticulous planning and coordination with multiple trades. Limited parking and access further complicated the logistics, making contractor management crucial to keeping the project on schedule. Additionally, the existing fittings were old copper, requiring the expertise of specialist plumbers to integrate the new pipework. Height restrictions in the area also required the use of a specialised small crane to position the new tank correctly.

Project Deliverables

Onsite inspection and pumping out of 5000L of oily water.

Surveying the site before cutting concrete.

Excavation of the tank area, removal of the old tank, and pipework.

Safe disposal of the old tank and preparation of the site for the new installation.

Installation of new anchors, the new tank, and connection of all pipework and electrical ATG system.

Pre-burial testing.

Backfilling of the tank farm and laying of new concrete.

Final site cleanup and demobilisation.

PROJECT DELIVERY

Despite the challenges, our team successfully completed the project, ensuring the new diesel tank was installed to the highest standards. At Nqpetro, we thrive on overcoming challenges, and this project is a testament to our team’s dedication and expertise in generator fuelling systems.
